The Linktropy Mini WAN Emulators are managed through a browser-based GUI over an
Ethernet connection to a dedicated management interface. Prior to operation, this man-
agement interface must be configured with appropriate network settings, either through
the Linktropy GUI or through a command-line interface accessed via the serial console. For
convenience, the management interface comes preconfigured with an IP address of
10.0.0.10, and the GUI is accessible from a directly-connected host on the
10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 subnet.
Preparation
Management of the Linktropy Mini WAN Emulator requires
a PC running a supported web browser (IE, Firefox,
Chrome or Safari). JavaScript must be enabled.
Initial configuration of the management interface
requires either:
a PC running a supported web browser that can be
configured and placed on the
network.
a PC with an RS-232 serial port running terminal em-
ulation software such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY.
IP Address Configuration via the Netropy GUI
Configure a PC running a supported web browser
with the IP address 10.0.0.2 or other address on the
10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
subnet.
Connect an Ethernet cable between the PC and the
MGMT port on the front of the Linktropy Mini.
Open the browser on the PC and enter
in the address bar.
Review the License Agreement. The Linktropy Mini
GUI will be displayed once the License Agreement is
accepted.
